Interesting Piet Proposal

This is a terrible move for TO long term. Why didn't Nylander for Pietrangelo happen before he signed his deal? Because Dubas knows that a guy turning 30 and needing a new contract (after next season) is not worth the future assets who will be better in the not to distant future.

This actually makes a lot of sense. STL gets their young up and coming players and TOR gets a dman who is arguably better than Rielly (who’s having a Norris like year). This would make Toronto a bigger threat than they already are

There’s is no way you think Liljegren and Kapa- actually never mind it’s not worth it

Yes, Petro's "back nine" is going to be expensive, but I feel like it's unfair to discredit the 1.5 seasons you're technically trading for (at a bargain cap hit here). Say a player hits his prime for about 8 seasons. Let's say for a defenseman it's from age 24-31 seasons. Making a trade for Petro this season would get 2 guaranteed years of prime top pair D, and the possibility for a couple more, and then a declining asset that would have to be dealt with. I know where you stand (and Dubas as well), that trading cost-controlled, young assets for aging, UFA-to-be's isn't the gameplan. But you're totally overlooking the fact that you'd be adding a franchise d-man with gas in the tank! Maybe you don't think adding one guy is going to change the outcome in the playoffs, and that's a fair opinion, but to say it's a "terrible move" to try to stack the roster is just, like, your opinion, man.

If you'd like an honest and thoughtful discussion I am happy to oblige you, if you want to troll people then you are correct, its not worth it.
